Druski has officially made ‘Saturday Night Live’ history!
For, the comedian became the first star primarily known as a digital content creator to host the long-running comedy series.
And the funnyman brought his signature brand of internet humor to the television institution, complete with an Emma Stone cameo and a series of eyebrow-raising sketches.
Full story below…
Taking center stage on SNL, the 32-year-old reflected on his unconventional journey from creating comedy videos online to hosting one of television’s most iconic shows.
The magnitude of the occasion wasn’t lost on him.
During his opening monologue, Druski proudly declared:
“I am living proof you can bet on yourself and make your dreams come true.”
The comic also poked fun at the restrictions of live network television, joking about whether his notoriously unfiltered humor would survive the transition.
Stone joined him during the monologue, with the pair trading playful remarks about their forthcoming movie ‘The Catch.’

Druski Brings His Viral Comedy to ‘SNL’
True to form, Druski wasted little time pushing the comedic envelope.
One of the night’s most talked-about sketches, ‘Dru Can See Everything,’ parodied the Elizabeth Holmes documentary ‘You Can See Everything.’
The comedian hilariously stepped into the disgraced Theranos founder’s shoes, complete with the “whiteface” makeup that has become a recognizable feature of some of his online characters.
The moment functioned as a callback punchline Druski made during his opening monologue.
Other sketches included ‘Bubu Mobile,’ ‘Birthday Girl,’ and ‘New Health Tracker.’
Watch the sketches below:
The milestone caps an unprecedented run for the entertainer.
As That Grape Juice reported, Druski recently inked a major Netflix deal, with his new Mike Epps-assisted comedy series ‘Collect & Praise’ premiering December 1.
And just days before the show, he was already joking about getting ‘SNL’ canceled in an official promo.
Instead, he made history.
From social media to primetime TV, suffice it to say: Druski is more than making waves. He is the wave! More power to him.
